Xavi wants Dani Parejo to replace Busquets

Barcelona's sporting board are putting all hands to the pump to sign Sergio Busquets' replacement in the summer.

According to 'Jigantes', Dani Parejo is Xavi and the managerial staff's chosen one to replace Busquets, who is out of contract at the end of the season, and everything is indicating that he will not renew.

In any event, they would try and get the deal done in the summer instead of this January as Barcelona already have Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong to fill the post.

For now, they are just interested. Barcelona have not approached neither the player nor Villarreal, but it could get going in the next few months.
